A VOYAGE TO THE MOON, MANNED LUNAR LANDING PROFILE
WITH DETAILED INSCRIPTIONS BY SEVERAL LUNAR EXPLORERS
Lunar Landing Mission Profile. Large lithograph, folded. 11 x 30 inches. U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) identification "8 69 – 80 3."
INSCRIBED and SIGNED at the Upper Left Earth Orbit area: "First Manned Lunar Module Flight, RUSTY SCHWEIKART, Apollo 9 LM – 3."
Near the Profile Center section: "First Men to the Moon! JAMES LOVELL, Apollo 8, We Have A Problem! Apollo 13."
Above the Upper Lunar Drawing right side: "PinPoint Landing Near Surveyor III, ALAN BEAN, Apollo XII."
Near the Earth Orbit area: "Mission to the Ocean of Storms – RICHARD GORDON, Apollo XII."
At the Lower Profile Center Section: "Planned Third Lunar Landing – But BOOM! FRED HAISE, Apollo 13 LMP."
Near the Earth Orbit area: "Flight with Alan Shepard – the only Mercury Astronaut to walk on the Moon – EDGAR MITCHELL, Apollo 14 LMP."
Near the Lower Lunar Orbit drawing: "Three days at Hadley Rille and First Use of the Lunar Rover – AL WORDEN, Apollo 15 CMP."
At the Profile Center: "First Landing in the Lunar Highlands – Descartes. CHARLES M. DUKE, JR. Apollo 16 LMP."
To the right of the Profile Title: "First LM to Lunar Orbit, Apollo X. Last Man on the Moon, GENE CERNAN, Apollo XVII."
One of the best visual representations of the flight procedures required to accomplish the Apollo lunar landing. The diagram has 85 labeled steps illustrating the complexity of a lunar mission. The outward bound journey starts with the Saturn V launch, placement of CSM / LM into earth orbit, then the engine burn to put these vehicles on a trajectory to the moon. Then it depicts CSM / LM docking, possible mid-course corrections and the all-important insertion into lunar orbit. The method to accomplish the moon landing and return are shown with dual lunar drawings. The remaining events are the steps to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
